Antique Japanese Hotei Buddha — 1880, Meiji Era
Symbol of Fortune and Warm Hospitality from Japan’s Meiji Period
This antique Japanese Hotei Buddha figure, crafted in the late 19th century, radiates charm, warmth, and a sense of welcome. With a joyful expression and full-bodied form, it was likely displayed at the entrance of a traditional ryokan (Japanese inn) to invite prosperity and happiness to guests. The rich brown glaze and gracefully aged white robe draped over one shoulder enhance the figure’s personality and antique character.
Ideal for collectors of Buddhist art or anyone looking to add an inviting focal point to their interior, this sculpture carries cultural significance and enduring charm. Its presence is both grounding and uplifting — a gentle reminder of contentment and good fortune.
